Strong economy enhances Trump’s reelection chances…

No matter what the Democrats and liberals think of him, President Trump will be campaigning with a strong wind at his back if the economic news stays as good as it has been. Folks can point to weak spots, of course, but the overall health of the nation is good as far as its economy […]

How will the Dems blow it?

This is a profoundly provocative question behind the New Yorker story that deals with the same subject, but more from a “whether” perspective than from a certainty. I am sitting with the certainty at his point that some one will pull a trigger on a hidden weapon and send the whole mass of them, all […]

Go for it Joe!

Well, I initially opposed Joe Biden for president as too old and with too much track record to survive the long run, but I have changed my mind.

The President understood right out of the gate that it […]

That was predictable, but it puts a lot […]

Trump has lots of campaign money, and are we surprised about this?

I don’t understand why President Trump is so bombastic about the amount of money he has raised for his reelection and yet, so shy about telling us what is on his income taxes. But it has an interesting smell about it, I would suggest. He’s sitting on tens of millions of dollars! That’s a lot […]
